Hi, i'm very new to posting here so apologies if wrong format or wrong place.

I'd like to know if it is possible to create a "custom" friendly URL like:

from: domain.com/index.php?id=18&Pref=R1234

to: domain.com/product/a-must-have-product-R1234

I updated .htaccess (with my limited know how) to:

# The Friendly URLs part

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^product/(-[^/]+)([0-9]+)?$    index.php?q=18&Pref=$1 [L,QSA]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

..but this only results in a 404 error page.

Setup:
Revolution 2.2.14
Use Friendly URLs = Yes

you can use a plugin, which handles the forward on the system-event OnPageNotFound
for example this one

Why not just name your pages and/or aliases with what you want and turn FURLs on?

Sorry, but what you want can be done with resources and aliases easy. Create a parent resource, then create some children as products. The url will reflect this if you have FURLs enabled.

It also does not appear that you have FURLs turned on if you're still getting paths like domain.com/index.php?id=18&Pref=R1234

I thought he was talking about having FURLs for items of a custom-table

Thanks bruno17 and frogabog for the reply.

Bruno17 you were correct, I am using furls for custom table, sorry I should have stated that.

I'll try the customrequest extra suggestion and let you know.

I did not recognize the url. My custom tables aren't real tables yet today.

Now I return to MIGXdb figuring.

Hi All

I tried http://modx.com/extras/package/customrequest but I just could not get it to work.

I've scoured the forums and have tried many other ideas but have come up short, are there any other options?

This seems to be a tough one.

Thanks in advance.
